Craft or Bust Week 3

Busy crafting week in Velma's World! Even in the kitchen, which never happens. I created a new cocktail! You've heard of a Rob Roy? Well, this one's called 'Rob's Wanton Sister Velma Roy'. Want the recipe? I KNOW you DO.

How to make a 'Rob's Wanton Sister Velma Roy': mix 1 part whiskey (I used Jack Daniels 'cuz that's what I had in the house) with 1 part Santa Cruz Organic Limeade (or, I suppose, the fruit juice of your choosing) plus a dash of Grand Marnier - serve over ice in a rocks glass. et voila!

Now, I realize that the only thing this this drink has in common with a Rob Roy is whiskey, & that my whiskey drinking friends were appalled when they heard about it, but I don't care! I think it is delightful, and really the only way to choke down JD.

Here's some of the other crafty goings-on around here this week:

• continued with a Year in Pictures and started a blog to showcase my photos: YIP WIP 2010;

• stash enhancement! added 2 skeins of Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool & 2 skeins of Knit Picks Bare to my stash courtesy of my stash dive in Chronicles' trade/sell page; blogged about it, asking for pattern suggestions on what to do with my bounty;

• created a photo-collage of my outstanding UFO WIPs, yep all 30 of 'em;
  

• picked out paint chips to paint our front door: red for luck!;

• started a Ravelry group for my crafty biz;

• sponsored Team COLORBOMBers for Ravelympics and made a Team Ravatar;
  

• completed my first FO of 2010: knit socks!
